Cardassians, Klingons, Q, Romulans, and Tribbles. Five different and distinct alien races, all part of the Star Trek Universe. Alien Spotlight Volume 2 introduces five stand-alone stories that take you on unique and intriguing adventures, each focusing on an alien species that has come into contact — and often conflict — with the Federation of Planets!
The alien worlds of 'Star Trek ' highlight what it is to be human. From the honour of the Klingons to the bitterness of the Cardassians, watching them will help humanity to learn how to react.
The stories are excellent and the art and colour add to this. The likenesses are off, but this does not detract in any way from the quality of this collection.
I think I like this slightly more than volume 1, if only because I really liked how the Q story took a moment to delve into how Picard still has Locutus within him. Picard actually refuses to have that traumatic part of him removed since it's part of him. I guess it shows that one might not want to forget what they endured, which can inform the decisions they make.
I have finished reading this anthology series and enjoyed it. My favorite stories were Q himself, Kang, The Romulans, and the Tribbles. The stories were more enjoyable and better than the first volume. This is a must for Star Trek fans both old and new.
